Using Life Coaching Certification and Executive Coach Certification in the Coaching Process

Marie has earned her life and executive coaching certification and is currently using her skills to coach a CEO named David. Marie is using the whole person approach.
In the opening coaching session, Marie asked David what he wanted.  He shared that in his career he wanted to achieve specific growth and productivity numbers on the job, and he wanted to successfully serve as a mentor for two of the VP’s that had been identified as potential successors.
David also realized he wanted to develop certain skills at work to improve his relationships and enhance outcomes.  David shared his goal for how much of a bonus he wanted to earn.  He listed specific debt he wanted to retire.  David was close to his financial goals for retirement and stated exactly what he wanted next.
Then David talked about what he wanted in his relationship with his wife and with his now grown children.  David set goals for spending time with relatives and friends.  David set specific goals for exercising, weight, and his eating habits.  He explored what he wanted in his spiritual life.  David listed classes he hoped to attend.  He talked about the legacy he wanted to create both at work and with his family.  He described his ideal emotional state.  David said he wanted to volunteer and named a specific cause that was of interest.  He defined what work / life balance meant to him and set goals to create time for hobbies and relaxation.
Life coaching certification and executive coach certification both focus on helping the client achieve their goals.

  1. What is a whole person approach? How will Marie, the life coach, help David in achieving his goals since it seems that he has already identify what he wanted to do with his life? And is it necessary to have a life coach?
